Hello,
I am on MBP 13 mid 2010 which prints directly to an Epson printer via a USB cable. I have side by side an iMac 21 mid 2010. The iMac printed very well by printer sharing configured in Preferences>Sharing
After installation of Yosemite on both Macs printing sharing which worked very fine with Mavericks stopped to work.
I changed the USB cable to be connected to the iMac, hoping that the printing sharing would work on the MBP, but non.
What can I do to convince the printing to work via print sharing.
TIA

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10

Do you have "Share this Printer" checked under Printers & Scanners?
Also is the printer turned on? I have my Epson connected via USB but I
don't leave it "On".

Yes, it is checked. But I can't print from the second Mac.
For the second point you raised, I did not undress it well enough.

Have you tried to reset printing system via 'System Preferences'. Additionally, you can try to add and delete 'Printer' from Desktop. Hope, it will work definitely.
